TIFU by writing a review about how lost I felt during my guitar private lessons

I've been taking guitar lessons, today was my last lesson and through out the lessons I didn't feel like I've learnt much, the teacher was so nice and friendly but he used to give me random techniques and beats every lesson, and he gave me a book that I thought we would follow, but we barely did, sometimes he used to forget he gave this lesson before and give me the same lesson multiple times but adding some new techniques and beats and as always I didnt feel like I've learnt much, the lessons were kinda a mess, very random, I used to learn way more when I was self-learning. Although my teacher was so friendly and nice (a bit sexist sometimes but that doesnt matter), I never told him how I was feeling lost taking these lessons, I never said anything I acted like I'm learning and moved on every lesson.

Today, when I was in the bus after I finished my last lesson I thought that I have to write a review that describes my experience and everything so I gave them 3 stars and I wrote: "Teachers and people there are so nice and friendly but I felt kinda lost and confused sometimes, the teacher gave me random techniques and beats some exercises but I felt like he sometimes doesn't recognize who I was and what was the last lesson so it was kinda a mess, but it wasn't a bad experience learnt some things but not what I was expecting"

30 mins later one of the teachers called my father (because that's the only number they have), and he said they wish I told them about these things while taking the course and they are upset because that may ruin their reputation and I can take my money back if I felt like they were useless.

I felt so bad after that I felt like a coward because they are right I should've told them about everything from the beginning, I deleted the review and I called them back and I said I was sorry and now I feel like an asshole.

TL;DR: I wrote a bad review about the music centre I used to learn at, and they called me and made me feel like an asshole and a coward because I havent mentioned any of the things I wrote in the review irl, and I think they're right.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
